Documentation confusion
Hi
Another newbie question, and probably a stupid one, but I find the following
extract from the Cocoon 2.02 documentation a little confusing:
> Due to changes in JDBC between JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.4, it is not possible to use Cocoon build on JDK 1.3 with JDK 1.4
> when it comes to database connections.
>
> So if you want to use Cocoon with JDK 1.4, you have to download the source distribution and build it by hand.

It's the "it is not possible..." bit that I find confusing.
If I'm using the Cocoon 2.02 binaries with JDK 1.4, am I OK? Or do I need to go
back, get the source files and build it?
Like I said, forgive if this is a really dumb question, but I don't quite get
where the 1.3 comes into it.
Cheers
Dan

You are Ok until you try using SQL with Cocoon (ESQL or SQLTransformer).
As Doc says, the difference which makes JDK's not compatible is in JDBC.

You can wait for 2.0.3 (Really Soon Now), it will address JDK version
issues.
